Georges Kazazian is an Egyptian oud player of Armenian descent. I stepped over one of his CDs in a sales bin many years ago, and liked it. Saw this one for a low price on discogs and like it too, and perhaps even more than Rabih Abou-Khalil's albums. Relaxed collective improvisations where the piano does not sound like an alien among oriental instruments, some nice composed passages in between. But what really gets me is the relaxed pace, the moderate tempos, these musicians taking their time.

Wanda's tempo works for me, it leaves room to think about what those lyrics are really talking about.. It's an observation more than a show.

Patty Loveless, not so much:

But Loretta Lynn? Hell yeah, production be damned, that woman is all about real.

Ok, here's real for you, a singing bass player bandleader playing for dancers and looking at them every step of the way, putting it where they are. The setting is bizarre, but the dynamic is real, this is what a country gig works like.
